1. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive information associated with a network communication of an Internet of Things (IoT) device;
determine whether the IoT device was previously classified, and in response to determining that it was not previously classified, perform a classification process that includes performing an inline classification and subsequent verification of the inline classification;
use the received information to determine a device profile, including a device type, to associate with the IoT device; and
based at least in part on the device profile, generate a recommended security policy to be applied to the IoT device by a security appliance; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
